Inspectors All Round

By Walter Olson

British 1929 Conservative Party poster on socialism and inspectors

I like everything about this British political poster, including the way the smoke coming out of the chimneys forms tiny question marks. It was employed in the 1929 election against Ramsay MacDonald's Labour Party. The artist is reported as V. Hicks. If only it weren't still so relevant! (Wikimedia link)
